Language Barrier

Knowing Different Languages 
Eliminate the Language Barrier


    For those who come from different countries, language is often a huge barrier in being accepted into a new home country. Because of accents, people are often teased about it. However, we must realize that respecting others' languages is part of respecting others. I really love to learn languages, and I realized that after you learn a language, you start to see the culture behind it. It opens up your world view, and allows you to see the wonders of each culture. Without further ado, let's learn some basic phrases from different languages!
